There is a word in the Finnish language – talkoot – which means a gathering of the local neighbourhood to accomplish some task of communal benefit. The word is unique, but the idea is not original – God created us for community.

When Jesus said, ‘I will build my church,’ the word translated ‘church’ meant a group of people called out to gather together. Yet individualism in our culture can easily influence our thinking about faith, such that we become more concerned with our personal Christian journey than our shared life in Christ.

The Bible is full of communal as well as individual interaction with God. And whilst our acceptance of the gospel is ultimately a personal matter, we are immediately called into an eternal community – the family of God – intended to be so much more than weekly Sunday services.

Loneliness is on the rise across the UK, but there is hope for our society if as a church we can rediscover God’s gift of faithful community, built around relationships, not just activities – a place where it can truly be said that ‘God sets the lonely in families’ (Psalm 68:6).

📖 The historical and contemporary challenges Anglo-Catholics face with church planting.

🏛️ How Mission-Shaped Church and Fresh Expressions models apply (or don’t) in the Anglo-Catholic context.

📜 Comparisons between Victorian-era and modern Anglo-Catholic churches, and the valuable lessons we can learn.

💡 The essential role of theology in underpinning church work and preventing mission efforts from becoming mere pragmatic exercises.

We hope you have been enjoying the May/June edition of Together magazine on Politics and Finance.

Since this was released, the General Election has been announced. Bible Society has teamed up with Christians in Politics to create the following helpful resources under the banner ‘Britain and the Bible’ to help us think through some of the issues around politics, the way that we vote and whether we should vote at all:

In the May edition, Together Magazine interviewed Rob Parsons from Care for the Family about the challenges facing families today and about his forthcoming book...

The rapid development of technology creates unique challenges for parents today. When is the right time to give your child a smartphone❓

"We realise in Care for the Family that to be any good at all we must have a prophetic edge. So about six or seven years ago I stood on the stage at Spring Harvest and said, ‘We are going to invest in resources over the next decade for emotional well-being for families and children.’ Everything changed with the smartphone. We are the first generation of people of whom it can be truly said, ‘There is no place to hide.’ You can’t go on holiday without getting an email. And it is true with children. When you and I were bullied we could go home where it was safe, but the modern bully will follow them on the bus, into their bedroom, at night under the duvet. We say to parents, ‘Delay as long as possible getting your child a smartphone, and when you do, don’t let them take it to bed at night.' We are working in the area of emotional and digital health with Kathrine Hill, the UK director. Two books I recommend are 'Left to Their Own Devices – Confident Parenting in a World of Screens' and ''. Having said all of that, I don’t think the basics have changed at all. Every society thinks they are facing new things, and they are, to a certain extent. But actually the basics – love, acceptance, boundaries, the power of words, showing faithfulness in the good times and the tough times, not taking yourself too seriously as a parent – these are still applicable today."

In light of the forthcoming General Election, this issue of Together Magazine will explore the dynamic and often complex intersection of faith and the public square. Should Christians get actively involved in politics, simply vote or avoid politics entirely? How should we respond to ungodly leadership? Are there better ways to engage with and pray for our MPs? How can we handle finances in a way that honours God? We have brought together several views and perspectives, as well as helpful resources, to help us make a greater positive impact in society as churches, businesses and individual believers.
